📚 What Opened on Porter Creek Drive

The store took over the former Sun & Ski Sports space, tucked between Ross and TJ Maxx in a 375,000-square-foot retail center that Younger Partners Investments bought earlier this year. It is a big box for a bookstore: north of 12,000 square feet, stocked with books, toys, games, magazines, vinyl, movies and gifts.

Opening day leaned local. Fort Worth author Kayla Olson was set to cut the ribbon and sign copies of The Great Outdoors, and the Cat in the Hat was booked for story time over the opening weekend, alongside grand opening deals on NOOK devices and movies. Details are in the company's announcement, carried by the Fort Worth Business Press.

🗺️ Montgomery Plaza Is Next

The company says a second new Fort Worth store is coming at Montgomery Plaza, the old Montgomery Ward building on the west side of downtown. State construction filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation list it at 401 Carroll St. with about 20,000 square feet, in a former Office Depot. We could not confirm an opening date, so treat it as coming soon and check before you go.

Barnes & Noble says it plans eight Texas openings in 2026, up from six last year. Two of them landing in Fort Worth in one season is a real signal for anyone who wants to work in retail on either side of town.

💼 The Jobs, Honestly

Barnes & Noble has not announced how many people either store will employ, and a store that opened on Nov. 4 has likely done most of its first round of hiring. That does not close the door. New stores almost always add part-time help through their first holiday season, and staff turnover in the first few months is normal. Get your resume ready and watch for postings.

The usual store roles are booksellers, cashiers, cafe staff where a store has one, receiving and stocking, and leads and managers. Apply only through the official Barnes & Noble careers site, and search for the Fort Worth locations by name. Our tip: stop by in person a week or two after opening, when the rush settles, and ask whether the store is still taking applications for holiday shifts.
